"Before you decide whether to buy this album, you need to know that it is NOT by Scott Miller of the V-Roys/Commonwealth. I didn't know that when I bought it, so I was a little surprised when I listened for the first time. With that out of the way, let me tell you about this album. The Scott Miller who put out this album is a Nashville studio musician. It's obvious that Miller and his supporting musicians are accomplished, but that alone doesn't make a good album. The songs sound as if they're performed directly off sheet music. It's a little too down-home to call the album "elevator music," but I really don't see where else something like this would be played. It's not unlike something you'd buy in a Cape Cod gift shop. If you wish Dino was a little more country, then this is the album for you. But if you're looking for a holiday companion piece to "Thus Always to Tyrants," you'll just going to have to wait."
